Cally's art

This was a mockup magazine that i created in photoshop, then orginized in adobe indesign. I made a magazine that was supposed to be a magazine about how technology and science can be incorporated in and inspired by nature. the fact is that despite technology and nature usually being viewed as two seperate fields, often times they are inspired by one another. an example of this is that the first ever flying machine designs were inspired by birds. these machines are called ornithopters and they fly by flapping their wings. although none of those have been successfully made, it's an example of how nature inspires us to keep on creating.

ADS These ad designs really appeal to me, since they manage to get their message across really well, despite not using a human subject to demonstrate it as you often see, the layout is very minimalistic as well, which to me is appealing since it doesn't overcrowd the page with information. the simplistic photos also appeal since they are son minimal, but they tell so much about the product. the ebay ad shows its an online store by making a store window display into the screen of a phone as if the phone is the store, and the maybelline ad shows that it's makeup by having the brush and pallette in the picture, since the pallette is in the picture it also tells you what your getting, rather than showing what it's for, since we already know that. Spreads these magazine layouts really appeal to me due to their simplistic designs, and the use of negative space, the use of it makes you able to recognize what the article is talking about, and the addition of simp

This was a piece that I made in my ceramics class between projects, it just came out of the kiln, and my goal with creating it was to give people something to associate the often devastating thoughts people have with depression and anxiety. For me my anxiety comes from the way I view things, i often fail to look at the brighter and simpler side of things, and i often find myself over exaggerating and over analyzing things. all these things are in my head, but its often hard to see this when it's happening, so when this happens it often feels like a parasite burrowing its way in, hence why it's an insect. My goal was giving people a physical thing to associate these thoughts with I sculpted this out of clay and i put a cinnamon underglaze over the whole thing. over the glaze i put a special golden glaze on all the details. then the only other colour i used was on the sclera of the eye where i used a white concept glaze to emphasize the iris.

Fine art portraits: These are two photos i took for this project, at first i never really planned for either of them to end up as the fine art portion of this project, but in the end i feel like i did a good job of showing how the fine art portraits can have a lot more freedom of expression, they allowed me to play around a lot more than in commercial portraits and sort of do whatever i want. the photos started out really bland and boring, i only really focused on the subject and failed to incorporate the background into a part of the picture as well. in the end i wanted the photo to less emphasize the person and more so challenge what a portrait is by having them be the main subject, but do most of my work on altering the environment around them.  in the first photo i used the mixer brush in Photoshop to make it look as if everything man made that was on the subject was painted, showing that these objects are pieces of art as well even if we take them for granted. In the
